How does Zilliqa (ZIL) work?

Proof-of-Work is used for sybil resistance. No one can join the Zilliqa network without doing a PoW. Once, a node does PoW and sends it to the network; it can participate in the consensus protocol. The consensus protocol does not require PoW and is way less computationally expensive. After consensus is reached on a block, the mining reward gets distributed among some nodes, not just one. The percentage of tokens mined per year will reduce over time. A shard is an independent group of nodes which are responsible for validating a portion of the transactions. DS Committee is a group of nodes that manage the activity of Zilliqa’s framework. The DS Committee is also responsible for some general utilities of the framework.
